Delphi BDE error 8712 ; Object not found

[Richard Roussel]

This error appears in 2 situations :

1. When launching DbExplorer, the message is displayed. The
"Dictionnary" tab is OK, but each time I select the
"DataBase" tab, the error message is displayed, and no
action is possible.

2. In Delphi : in a new project, I place a TTable. I can
type a value in the DataBase property, but if I click the
arrow to display the drop down list, "Object not found" is
displayed.

My computer is running Windows 95 950B. This is a brand new
installation from scratch (2 days ago). I installed (in
this order) : Paradox 7 for W95, Delphi 3.0, Interbase 4.2.
When I discovered the problem, I uninstalled the 3
programs, and deleted the Program Files\Borland directories
and subdirectories. After a new full install of Delphi,
same Problem. I did the same full uninstall process, plus a
"hard" delete in the registry of all lines related to
Boland products.

I have no idea of what to do now !

Thanks for help

Check out the msgs to and from Ed Diener: Subject: "minor Installation
problem...". It might help. Did you get any errors or warnings during the
installation?

Did you have any trouble installing Delphi? Can you run any of
our demos?
If so i think your question is out of the scope of this group.

Make sure you have the latest ODBC driver installed…

This is due to a conflict with 32-bit ODBC.
Modify registry to turn off virtual datasources:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Borland\Database Engine
add/modify ViewMode to "P".

Also remove the DSN entries from the ODBC Administrator and then add
them back.
